What genre is your book? Fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, horror, humor, mythology, realistic fiction, adventure? Why did you choose that genre? Give an example from the book that supports the genre you chose.

I think the genre is realistic fiction. In the book, when Eddie is going to shoot the foul shot, he says,” I can’t do it, you have to shoot for me.” I picked that because when you are about to shoot a shot in front of more than a million people, you would be nervous.
